Map of Switzerland with Cantonal Boundaries – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, 1876
This finely detailed 19th-century map, titled “Zwitserland,” was published in 1876 in the *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand* by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo, and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden. The map presents the Swiss Confederation in the late 19th century, depicting its cantonal divisions, mountainous terrain, and major waterways with exceptional clarity and precision.
Each canton is outlined in subtle hand-colored borders in red, yellow, green, and violet, while the topography is finely rendered through delicate hachuring to convey the rugged alpine landscape. Major cities and regions such as Geneva, Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, and Basel are clearly labeled, along with key lakes, including Geneva, Neuchâtel, Thun, and the Vierwaldstättersee. The map also notes neighboring territories, from Savoy and Lombardy to Tyrol and Baden, situating Switzerland within its Central European context.
This plate demonstrates the remarkable skill of Dutch map engraving and lithography of the late 19th century. Designed for educational use, it combines geographical accuracy with visual refinement, characteristic of the Leiden publisher Noothoven van Goor. Frijlink’s *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas* was a standard reference for Dutch schools, merging beauty and practicality in geographic education.
Condition report:
Good condition with light toning and minor foxing in the margins. Original center fold as issued. The printed image remains sharp, and the hand-coloring is fresh and even. No tears, repairs, or staining.
Framing tips:
This map’s balance of color and topographic texture makes it ideal for framing with a cream or soft ivory mat and a narrow black or walnut frame. Perfect for a study, library, or interior inspired by travel and geography.

Maker: M. Frijlink
